I have to say, I’m really disappointed with the Kill Team expansion Rogue Trader going for NZ$210. A complete rip-off considering the core set was the same price. Games Workshop – they fool you into thinking they’re doing the right thing, then they turn around and get greedy. I’m simply not paying that kind of price for half the content in a flimsy box. And they blew it with the Adeptus Titanicus price tag too; that’s two strikes recently.

And yes… the Rogue Trader box contains less… but the value of a product is what you get out of it.

I bought Kill Team for the terrain mainly. Already had Skitarii from Forge Bane and wasn’t that bothered about Genestealers. Obviously I wanted the rules and other bits to play the game.

Rogue Trader I wanted for the Trader miniatures, Nurgle less so, but the new maps and close quarter rules are good. The Codex to use Rogue Traders in 40k is useful and the ‘heroes’ are some damned powerful figures.

Take a look at the price of most hero figures for 40K and that makes Rogue Trader look better value.

TBH…I do not see a “ripp-off” here. In KT the highlight of the box was the terrain..a huge amount for the money…and really great looking. So basically you get lots of great terrain for a great price…and some nice stuff on top. In RT the terrain can not compete…but the “scatter terrain” it has looks ace. In RT the highlight are the minis. 33 new ones (against 20…10 old – 10 new…I think)…and the nurgle boss and 3 hulks are really huge monsters that would normally cost a hefty GW-sum on their own. So in RT you get a lot of great new minis for a really good price…and some nice stuff on top.

So…the “worth” of the boxes is not that far from each other…but depending on what you look for…one is better then the other.
